Yellow rust is now attacking winter wheat crops in both the east and west of the country, says
Syngenta.
The disease has been present in some crops since a least early February, according to a yellow rust monitoring service being run on the
Syngenta website at
Syngenta-crop.co.uk/rust-by-region.aspx">http://www.
Syngenta-crop.co.uk/rust-by-region.aspx.
Until recently it seemed mainly confined to eastern counties and the south Midlands. Now the disease has been identified as far west as Shropshire and Herefordshire.
